One of the reasons I love ‘Second Life’ so much is the complete eccentricity of it. There is no better way of exorcising your mad thoughts and tendencies than by turning yourself into one of the myriad of creatures that you can be-online. I’ve seen so many in my 6 months in world that it is impossible to list them all. I’ve seen smelly tramps raiding dumpsters, spider monkeys flinging bananas off the roof of the pub and countless Pandas, Valkyries, Giant snails, singing frogs..the list is endless! Everyday people become something different. And I’ve no doubt that this is what makes SL so utterly unique, it truly is a living work of art and long may this originality continue…An example of the madness, by way of illustration is my local, ‘The Three Lions’ in Bourton. It’s Sunday morning, the Sabbath, a day of rest and relaxation Therefore 3L is packed out with assorted characters having a boogie as Prad plays the choons, and on the stage, in a replica military uniform (rather an excellent one as well) is Simon, busily building a WW2 bunker complete with sandbags and barbed wire.

Second life…LOVE IT!
